OK, so maybe "dun" not quite the anomonapia I was hoping for, but you get the point. With Thanksgiving comes the return of the thoroughbreds to the Fairgrounds. After you've served up that fourth course of dinner, come on down and lay a few bucks on the ponies.

If you're looking for an energetic evening of non-stop smiles and great music, looking no further than Rock and Bowl's annual Thanksgiving night Zydeco dance party. The "Cajun Cowboy" Geno Delafose provides the music.

One of my favorite parts of the holidays revolves around the return of old friends who find their way back home to celebrate the season. And more times than not, this return always includes a trip to the Quarter for a few too many laughs followed by an equally indulgent amount of adult beverages. That being said, and while I'm in this nostalgic mindset, might I suggest another blast from the past, One Eyed Jacks' weekly 1980s dance party, "Fast Times." The crowd is usually late arriving, so if you want to make an entrance, show up around midnight. If you're looking to secure a spot at the bar, try the Dax Riggs show at 8 p.m.
